Rode some fantastic horses and was a brilliant jockey. Like already mentioned rode the great Shergar.

Also rode a name we are all familiar with, "Zilzal", another great horse.

Wonder if this thread will bring out our much missed poster named after this horse.

R.I.P. Walter.

This is not Brin's joke night. It's remembering one of flat racing's greatest jockeys.

Looking at some of the great horses the choir boy rode. All Along- Ark, Lammtarra- Derby & of course Shergar.

Riley the 3rd Wonder if your getting names mixed up. Zafonic trained in France with Pat Eddery jockey was best winner I ever saw along with Frankel to win the 2,000 Guineas.

gwru..... get a grip man.... I paid my respects initially.....

Walter had probably heard that joke and laughed when he had....

I was enlightening what was a sombre mood to some who follow the racing fraternity.....

Giddy up as they say....
